Jonas, Sorry to but in, but I read this post and followed the link to the binutils problem you mentioned in your reply. Is it possible the error message, "Can't call the linker,..." is the result of a bad/missing symlink and not the problem in binutils?
I have Ubuntu 9.04 desktop now but haven't installed FPC as yet.
